I've been lazy. And very tired. So so sorry for the wait guys.

" I cannot believe my own daughter is Queen! Queen!" Her father exclaimed, gathering her into a tight embrace. M.K. gave him a pained smile, "Need air, Dad."
"Oh, sorry M.K., dear. Or should I say 'Your Highness'?" He rambled on as usual. The guard in the corner of the room cringed, rubbing his temples. M.K. mouthed, Sorry, he get's carried away. He just smiled, waving it off.
"Now I think this is just some gossip, but I heard that you and some soldier are...seeing each other." M.K. froze, face heating up, and slowly turned to face her father.
"Where would you have heard that?"
"Oh, from some of the Jinn." He tapped his foot impatiently, "Now, is it true?"
M.K. hesitated. What would happen if she told him? Would he be happy for her? Would he go kill Nod? That would be highly unlikely.
She sighed in defeat, "Yes. I am seeing a soldier."
He crossed his arms, "I want to meet this boy." She nodded and led her father out the door.
This probably won't end well, she thought.
Nod was surprised when he found M.K. by his bird's stable door. He was even more surprised when he saw her father with her.
"Hey." He hung his saddle casually.
"Hey, Nod." M.K. gave him a hug and whispered three words in his ear that froze him on the spot, "He found out."
She smiled sheepishly and stepped back.
"Uh, hello, Mr.-" He trailed off.
"Bomba. You can just call me Bomba." They shook hands and M.K.'s father clapped him on the back.
"We have a lot to talk about, young man." Nod sent M.K. a look that yelled, HELP!
M.K. stifled a laugh and watched her father drag Nod away.
About fifteen minutes later, they returned. Nod seemed a little paler than usual, but fine.
"You didn't kill him, did you?" M.K. joked. Her father smiled, "No. But I may have traumatized him. Just a little."
"Dad." M.K. complained.
"Just being an old overprotective father. I'll see you soon." He walked off.
"Nod?" She waved her hand in front of his face. No reaction.
"Nod, wake up. Hello? Anyone in there?" He still stood there. She saw him try not to smile.
She rolled her eyes, "I love you."
"Love you too." He unfroze, grinning down at her.
She shoved him and the couple chased each other out the door.
They perched in a tree, watching the Jinn walk about and chat.
She rested her head against his chest, like the time in the infirmary. The memory made him smile.
"What are you thinking about?" She asked, glancing up at him.
"One thing. Or a girl actually. She had the prettiest green eyes and hair like fire. Oh, who can she be?" He said, laughing, when she smacked his arm.
"Very funny."
Nod wrapped his arm around her waist and breathed in the scent of her hair. It smelled like flowers.
They lay there for a long time. At least until Ronin found them and scolded them to death.
I'll try to update sooner guys.
Fang: No, she won't! She's lying!
Me: How dare you, Fang! I'm not lying! Now, I like Percy better than you!
Percy: Ha! Beat that, Fangy-boy!
Fang: *fumes*
